There are couples of two different races who aren't necessarily pointed out and focussed on. There are same sex couples who can be main characters or side things going on. It's not a big deal on those shows, and it tends not to be focused on.

However, it makes it difficult for people who continue to say we don't have a race problem any more.<br /><br />I will echo what others have said...the characters of Rue and Thresh were described as having dark brown skin. Cinna's skin color was never described.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17874963138325427383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110277373590292385.post-78121332589057793702012-03-29T09:20:20.656-04:002012-03-29T09:20:20.656-04:00This is absurd!

My daughter and I sort of shrugged it off with a comment something like, "I hadn't thought of them as black but that was kind of a cool choice for the character." I can't believe people would make a big deal about that... but I guess people make big deals about all sorts of stupid shit any more. :(Principled Sluthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06934648394282476836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110277373590292385.post-73527498391909866832012-03-28T10:14:37.751-04:002012-03-28T10:14:37.751-04:00It's infuriating really, that in 2011 we even ...It's infuriating really, that in 2011 we even have to have this conversation. Also, it's really pissing me off that I keep reading how Jennifer Lawrence is too "big boned" to play Katniss.

And how can people actually write down and post on the internet how incredibly racist and ignorant (not to mention illiterate) they are?
